That Boy: William Branham's Racial Slurs in the Healing Revivals

One of the most obvious racial slurs of the 1950s and 1960s is one that many people today overlook when reading transcripts or listening to audio recordings of white supremacists. “That boy”. It is a racial slur that William Branham used often, likely a habit picked up from his mentor, Roy E. Davis who led many white supremacy groups from 1920 to the late 1960s.

White supremacists refused to acknowledge blacks or Jews as adult men, referring to them as “boy” as an insult. It is an insult often used in movies and television to expose the wrongs of white supremacy.

In 1962, when 29-year-old Air Force veteran James Meredith sparked the Ole Miss Riot for attending the University of Mississippi, William Branham pushed the white supremacy agenda to belittle Meredith and claim that Meredith had a hidden agenda. When doing so, he referred to him as “that boy”.

Meredith was not the only one Branham used the racial slur to describe. He often described black men with venereal diseases as “that boy”, slave men that were “that boy”, elderly black men, Jewish men and more. Even the Apostle Paul, according to Branham, was “that boy”.

Now if you notice when Paul, Saul, raised up, he said, “Lord, Who are You?” Now, that boy, being a Jew, he certainly wouldn’t have called anything, unless it’d been something to symbol God, he wouldn’t have called it “Lord.” So, It was the same Pillar of Fire.

I don’t think the boy really realized. He had been raised up among this Pharisee, which was a—a—a great ruler, a prince, or—or religious man.

Puts me in mind of a colored man down in the south, an old fellow packed his Bible around. Said, “Why you carrying that Bible for, boy?” He said, “I believes It.”
